About the Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care team
Our sacred spaces are places of peace, prayer and reflection for our patients, their families and our staff, we try to maintain them as places of privacy and tranquility
It is therefore not possible to for us to welcome external visitors or tour groups.
The Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care team are here for you.
As a team, we aim to be highly visible around the hospital, we will visit each of the intensive care units on weekdays and we aim to visit other wards several times a week.
If you would like to see a chaplain during your child’s stay at GOSH, please ask a member of staff to contact us. Alternatively, if you'd like to get in touch with us before you visit, please go to the contact us page for details.
While we are a multi-faith team, it is not possible for us to have a chaplain representing every faith and belief group.
However, we have links with many faith and belief groups across London, so we will do our best to put you in touch with someone appropriate at your request
Our Facilities
St Christopher’s Chapel is located on Level 2 (ground floor) of the Variety Club Building (VCB) and is open at all times. Inside the chapel there is an Intercessions Book where you can write a prayer, alternatively, you can use our prayer cards to write a prayer for someone or add their name to our Prayer Tree.
